Last word

by Mark Lane

Mark Lane has tried the only case in the history of the United States in which jurors concluded that the CIA killed President Kennedy. While that evidence is clear, there were still pieces missing from the puzzle. How did the CIA control forces of the law on the ground in Dealey Plaza? How did they also control the Dallas Police Department, the Dallas Sheriff's Department, and the United States Secret Service? How did federal authorities prevent the House Select Committee on Assassinations from discovering the truth about the complicity of the CIA? What was the attitude of the United States Secret Service that day in Dallas? With exclusive new interviews, sworn statements, and meticulous new research (including interviews with Oliver Stone, Dallas Police deputy sheriffs, Robert Y. Tanenbaum, and Abraham Bolden), Lane finds out firsthand exactly what went on the day JFK was assassinated. Lane has documented proof that the CIA, operating through a secret small group within the organization (run by the man also in charge of attempting to kill Fidel Castro), was the group that prepared all credentials for Secret Service agents in Dallas for the two days that President Kennedy was going to be there. Lane's work offered the definitive proof of the CIA's involvement in the assassination of JFK.
